Significados de Cup em português

Le mot "cup" en anglais désigne principalement un récipient utilisé pour contenir des liquides, souvent utilisé pour boire. Il est couramment utilisé dans des contextes informels, mais peut également apparaître dans des contextes plus formels, comme lors de dîners ou d'événements officiels.

Nuances de prononciation :

Le mot "cup" vient de l'anglais ancien "cuppe," qui a des racines dans le latin "cupa," signifiant "baril" ou "récipient."
